ksdaddy Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I mean on purpose, right in front of God and everyone? About ten years ago I bought the rectangular plate at a yard sale. It's even uglier in person; the back is painted mustard yellow. Today I bought whatever the black and copper things are, a buck apiece at a used junk shop. They weigh a ton and I think they're cast metal of some kind. Bookends maybe? Butt friggin' ugly and I had to have them. Come to think of it, the candy dish in the background is a contender too. Fess up. What have you brought home because it was so ugly you HAD to have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Edit: I bought the 1940s Apex wringer washer in my avatar for $15 a couple weeks ago, just because I wanted it and I dared myself to buy it and a little part of me wanted to irk my wife (didn't work, she's as nutty as me...). But then I got messing with it and got it running, now I almost fight my wife for dirty clothes. I keep it in the garage, fill it up with the garden hose, use modern soap plus Fels naptha soap on stains, and hang them on the line just as if I were in my right mind (you guys know better). I think it's beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 The center of the plate looks a lot like the Illinois State fossil, the Tully Monster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tully_Monster Don't let them kid you about a wringer washing machine. I doubt the 'modern' washer you have won't be working as well as this one in 50 years. Solar drier is the only way to go. Even in winter. If it is the least bit breezy and the sun is shining, clothes dry in no time. They're a bit stiff when you first hang them but the loosen up.
